Why is Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy being called ‘cheap commercial'? Leaked Lee Min Ho–Ahn Hyo Seop scene has fans cringing
The clip in question features lead actors Lee Min Ho and Ahn Hyo Seop locked in an intense confrontation. Lee Min Ho, portraying the powerful Yoo Joong Hyuk, attempts to uncover the hidden identity of Kim Dok Ja, played by Ahn Hyo Seop. Despite Dok Ja's attempts to hide his truth, Joong Hyuk's supernatural abilities keep exposing him. The scene is designed to be dramatic and emotionally tense, but many viewers say it misses the mark.
Omniscient Reader scene criticized for poor CGI and bland cinematography
Instead of praise, the scene has drawn widespread criticism for its weak visual effects and uninspired cinematography. Online commenters described the overall scene and execution as "cringe". They even compared it to a "cheap commercial" rather than a cinematic experience.
Fans were particularly disappointed with the computer-generated effects, which many said looked unpolished despite the film's big production budget. Several viewers also questioned the choice of camera work and shot composition. They argued that it lacked creativity and failed to elevate the emotional weight of the scene.
Fans criticize Ahn Hyo Seop's portrayal of Kim Dok Ja
The backlash didn't stop at visuals. Fans of the original Omniscient Reader web novel and webtoon expressed their dissatisfaction with the portrayal of Kim Dok Ja. In the source material, Dok Ja is known for his cool-headed, cunning charm.
However, the movie version, as shown in the leaked clip, appears overly fearful and unsure. Others agreed, pointing out that the screenplay seems to strip the character of his defining traits.
What Omniscient Reader is about
Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy is adapted from the best-selling Korean web novel. It follows the story of Kim Dok Ja, an ordinary office worker. He suddenly finds himself living inside the pages of a fantasy novel he was reading. With knowledge of the story's events and its central hero, Yoo Joong Hyuk, Dok Ja must navigate a collapsing world and attempt to change its destined ending.
Lee Min Ho plays the novel's original protagonist, Yoo Joong Hyuk. He's a stoic and powerful warrior, while Ahn Hyo Seop brings Kim Dok Ja to life on the big screen. Moreover, the movie is set to premiere in theaters on July 23. Whether the full film can turn opinions around or whether this scene is a preview of larger issues remains to be seen.

It's getting messier by the minute on social media as Alexandra Cohen, better known online as Woesenpai, finds herself at the centre of a chaotic breakup scandal. With over 900K followers on Instagram, the OnlyFans model is now being accused of abuse by her ex-boyfriend—who isn't just speaking out but posting receipts. And in true internet fashion, it's going viral fast. But Woesenpai isn't staying silent either. She's clapping back with her own claims and a few emotional Story slides that have fans divided. Ex drops videos claiming OnlyFans star Woesenpai was abusive Woesenpai's ex, who dated her for two years, recently uploaded a string of intense videos allegedly showing Alexandra in various distressing states. In one, she appears to throw herself on his car and try to damage it. In another, she's seen sitting in the middle of the road while he pleads with her to come inside, claiming she wants to die. A clip even shows her reaching for a gun sitting on a built-in surface. He also accused her of using the N-word during arguments, further fuelling the backlash. The videos have been shared across X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, with many reacting to the emotional volatility and alleged physical aggression in the footage. OnlyFans model Woesenpai is going viral after her ex-boyfriend of two years released videos accusing her of being abusive during their relationship 👀 not to victim blame but this retarded ass nigga let woesenpai clearly insane ass waltz over to his gun (which is next to a liquor bottle LMAO) and just stood there like an idiot. 0 sense of self preservation, shit coulda ended way worse. Woesenpai responds: 'This man abused me' But Alexandra Cohen has come forward with her own side—and it's just as intense. 'This man abused me in so many ways I sent myself to a mental facility!' she wrote on her IG Story. 'Yes, I did get the help I needed. Those videos are all old.' She also said just because she didn't document everything doesn't mean he's innocent: 'Just because I didn't take many videos doesn't mean he didn't do anything!' She insists her reactions were from trauma, not malice. 'Imagine knowing a woman is capable of self-harm due to the way you treat her, and you expose her to self-harming and crashing out. Does that say anything to you?' Woesenpai says he owes her and her daughter money. The model didn't hold back in accusing her ex of financial manipulation either. She claims he scammed her out of millions—and even took from her daughter. 'My crash outs are valid. This man has taken millions from me... Not only that, but he's taking money from my daughter as well.' 'The fact that you all are listening to the orders of a man who has 25 counts of fraud on his record is insane. This man will take your money and laugh in your face.' She added that she's not exposing him for revenge but to defend herself, 'I'm not exposing this man's worst moments, as he did mine. I'm defending myself with video evidence.' As accusations of her using slurs swirl online, Woesenpai said, 'There are no videos of me saying any racial slurs. I do not do that. My daughter is Black; my mother is African. Please don't tie me to these fabricated videos. That's not me in that video.' Who is Woesenpai? Alexandra Cohen, aka Woesenpai, is a content creator and OnlyFans model known for her bold aesthetic, online transparency, and huge following. She's built a niche brand combining sex appeal, emotional openness, and a loyal digital fan base. But this latest chapter has dragged her name into one of the internet's most controversial and complicated breakups. To stay updated on the stories that are going viral, follow Indiatimes Trending.

Elon Musk plans to reintroduce Vine, but here is a twist! Know what the tech mogul said…
Elon Musk has revealed plans to relaunch the once-popular video-sharing app Vine in an artificial intelligence-powered format through his social media platform, X. The billionaire entrepreneur made the announcement via a post on X, but offered no further specifics about the nature or timeline of the project. Musk, who acquired Twitter in 2022 and later rebranded it as X, has previously floated the idea of reviving Vine. He has even conducted public polls on the platform, gauging interest in bringing back the iconic six-second video app. Vine, which launched in January 2013, quickly rose to prominence by allowing users to share ultra-short looping videos. It became a cultural phenomenon in the mid-2010s, particularly among video bloggers and content creators, before Twitter shut it down in 2016 due to stiff competition and monetisation challenges. The reintroduction of Vine in an AI-driven format could signal a new direction for short-form content on social media. With most AI video generation tools currently optimised for brief clips due to cost and processing limitations, the original six-second structure of Vine may prove ideal for AI-powered creativity and engagement. While concrete details remain scarce, Musk's announcement hints at a broader effort to integrate advanced technology into X's offerings and reimagine digital content for the AI age. Meanwhile, after years of speculation and a soft launch , Elon Musk's much-hyped Tesla Diner and Drive-In officially opened its doors to the public late Monday. Notably, the eager fans who began queueing as early as sunrise. Located at the site of a former Shakey's Pizza on Santa Monica Boulevard, the retro-futuristic diner attracted a sizeable crowd of Tesla enthusiasts from across California, many of whom waited patiently for hours in the heat with no clear communication about the opening time.
